new motor in now have a couple codes

[grn97gtp]

getting a P1350 and O2 sensor codes the O2 I can under stand as there is no sensor downstream. Could I be getting the p1350 because I painted the coil pack bracket where the icm attaches to the bracket. I did a little research and if I correct the plate grounds to the bracket. Thanks in advance

Not necessarily. In most 97+ there is a dedicated ground in the harness to the ICM and it no longer grounds primarily through the base. What's a 1350?

And where in Mass?

[grn97gtp]

bypass line moniter and Im in shrewsbury next town over from worcester not to far from standard and linders and sams

[BillBoost37]

STop..I'm gonna make ya tell me how many regals are in Sams.. lol

I took a search on 1350 and if you just tossed the motor in, I'd look to the wiring routing for the crank and cam sensors. make sure no terminals backed out of the ICM/PCM or those two sensors.

it starts right up no problem, when i let of the throttle there is a slight blip in the rpms. drops a little and stabilizes drops a little stablizes and rpms seem fine after that until i come off the throttle again and it repeats the process other wise seems to be running good

[BillBoost37]

right, well that's because the ICM isn't giving the right signal to the pcm etc and then the pcm is just taking over control.

[grn97gtp]

so what ya saying in a P 1350 dtc is a real pain in the ass to track down just my luck

[grn97gtp]

will any problems be caused driving the car this way. I still gotta get a cat welded in after the speed daddy header install. plus the weather really isnt that cooperative at the moment no garage for me. I would have no problem coming out to see you in conn. do you kno of anyone that can tune a 97 after all the other bugs are ironed out

[BillBoost37]

Yeah, I have the ability. It shouldn't hurt it as long as you don't beat on it. Likely it's a bad wire/connector/pin.

I hear you on the weather. I'm west of you and it's not looking like any sun this week.

[grn97gtp]

Ill double check the connector at the icm and the cam and crank never removed the pcm. I lust hope I can track this down.

[BillBoost37]

It's likely a pin that was out of alignment and got pushed out.

[grn97gtp]

thats exactly what is was a pin out of alignment just took care of that all is running mint only code now is 02 but that is expected. gonna get the exhaust addressed this week. Bill when do think would be a good time to meet up if you would like and scan and possibly tune the car.
